Here are the entry instructions:
- In TurboTax, under the Deductions & Credits tab, select I'll choose what I work on.
- Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, Other income Taxes and Start.
- On the Other income taxes screen, scroll down to Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099 and Start.
- On the Other Withholding Not Already Entered screen, enter the state and the amount withheld and Continue.
